So why its it that the Arizona memorial in pearl harbour still exists??

 

History sudent speaking, I can see a Pacific War happening in RAverse. On one hand, the Soviets invade China, breaking the Japanese armies there, probably leadiing the elites to desire a revenge, and for this they'll need more ressources, like the ones of the Western Europeans colonies, also playing in the hands of the Japanese deisre of taking over these empires for their own gains. WW2 à la Red Alert diverts the attention of both the Europeans and Soviets, leaving to the Japanese the opportunity of conquering these colonial empires, with of course the US protesting and ready to protect their on interests in Asia, leading to a war against them probably not so different from our Pacific War. And the Japanese probably attacked Pearl Harbor preemptively, just like in reality.

And there are references in the game's briefings that Japan was occupied by the US "until recently", only going independent a few years ago. It might have been part of the "American Crusade", that was also mentioned.

They sure like to mention a lot of stuff without actualy going over them

[StolenTech]

they can't be expected to make a mission out of every little detail that led up to the events of Act 2, not only because it's a lot of work for a mod but also because the lore of the mod is complicated as it is, and speeder himself said that arranging the timeline for the mod is a hassle nobody wants to go through as well as them being insignificant to where the mod wants to go with its' story.

[Solais]

Also, I guess it's a storytelling thing. It would be weird if you, the player, would rise to the position of a Commander or General without knowing military history. So the story is told to you with that in mind, I believe. Then it's up to the players to fill in the blanks.

As a writer (i has doing this in past, now ive just abandoned it) - i understand this pain. I mean, you need not only to follow YOUR history, but the Earth RA2 twisted history, which is double diffcult. Thru, i believe that mentalmenisters work in grop on this, as one man hardly can make it good and polished for players to enjoy.

I think the tunnel logic should be given to Scorpion Cell. That make sense since they had underground tunnels across Africa which helped Rashidi move his inventions.

[Handepsilon]

Or Foehn... due to their lore about their tunnel barracks.

Problem is that both already got enough power (or in some Foehn subfactions' case, more than enough) balance-wise

Chrono Portals for allies.

[StolenTech]

that's reserved for another mod 

[FixenFrøjte]

ok, just played with this occurence:

i set a bomb truck do a way-point sequence, it completed it regardless of the driver already being sniped by morales. (depiloted)

 

ok so thats just my experience from one game, so it may not be all the time, idk, but it JUST happened. thats a bug.

How come the plasmeriser doesn't increase build radius?

[Speeder]

It's a defense, defenses don't.

[BlackAbsence]

Suggestion regarding the cloning vat:

 

The cloning vat for SC unlocks the virus - a foul lady who infects her victims from afar.

The cloning vat for HQ unlocks the tyrannosaurus - the pinnacle of their genetic research.

The cloning vat for PsiCorps unlocks the Libra clone(s).

[Sizyfos31]

What would the second support power for Psicorps be then? You know, all subfactions get 2 specific support powers with each of their Pandora Hub addons.

[Handepsilon]

Don't they already have Magnetic Beam and Libra Clone?

 

The cloning vat for HQ unlocks the tyrannosaurus - the pinnacle of their genetic research.

The cloning vat for PsiCorps unlocks the Libra clone(s).

 

No, just... no. Just Goddamn frigging no

[Sizyfos31]

Exactly. Paradropable Libra Clones. And they do not seem worthy of T4 for Epsilon, cosnidering their performance.

I know, a dinosaur would be so imbalanced.

How so?
Overpowered or underpowered?
If underpowered, do Godzilla style and make it breath blue flames/lasers.

[Handepsilon]

*facedesks*

Ok, it's stupid... it's imbalanced... and it makes as much sense as giving the Soviet the ability to train Karl Marx just because.

Now please sit on that corner and try to use more common sense before suggesting something stupid.
